Will the ICC Sink Israel's International Reputation?

Netanyahu is truly a visionary leader. The only head of government who is on trial both within and outside Israel.

Of course Bibi cried "Antisemitism" That word means nothing anymore, mostly because of him

Spoiler: the ICC did not sink Israel's reputation, they did that themselves

Russia is also not a party to the ICC, yet when Putin's arrest warrant was issued, Tory MPs were cheering.

As an American, it's infuriating that my government sees itself as above international law. It's disgraceful.

USA and Israel: We have investigated ourselves and found 0 wrong doing.

No world leader should be beyond international law. Edit: I didn’t say they aren’t beyond international law I said they SHOULDN’T BE beyond international law. Please read carefully. 🙏

idk why USA is willing to destroy it's reputation for Israel.

Israel is also the first Asian country to have its leader charged by the ICC. This saves the Philippines from having that dubious honor with Duterte.

Netanyahu should prove the ICC wrong by travelling to the Hague and defending himself

Israel will always call you an antisemite as soon as you criticize them in the slightest

Netanyahu doesn't really get that calling everyone an anti-semite kind of makes it lose it's meaning...

Just wanted to shout out that I love that you include a list of sources in the description. It's absolutely wild to me that this isn't standard practice in news media - it's like a 20% chance a news site/channel will include direct links to the stuff they're talking about.

The decision to to announce warrants for both Israeli and Hamas leaders simultaneously was probably the best possible approach to handling this situation. It does a good job of calling out all responsible parties for the suffering in Gaza while framing this outside of a political perspective.

If this is successful, then perhaps arrest warrants should also be issued to Tory Blair and David Cameron

The American servicemen that served on the Liberty salute this, I bet.

netanyahu can simply prove that hes innocent in the court cuz they said he didn’t commit war crimes right?

Outrageous is the stupidity of thinking this is equating Netanyahu to Hamas. Two things can happen at the same time, it doesn't mean they are equivalent.

It is a call for all leaders to prioritize people and peace. It's a condemnation of wars that start with attacks on innocent civilians. The ICC intervention aims to hold accountable those who commit crimes against humanity, regardless of their country's political system. Europe, having borne the brunt of devastating wars, understands the importance of preventing future conflicts. Their decision not to blindly follow suit reflects a commitment to upholding the law. Innocent lives are lost due to poorly planned interventions. Retaliation shouldn't come at the cost of innocent lives. There are better ways to hold leaders accountable without resorting to violence. The world is yearning for peace. We need strong international action to deter future conflicts. This is a stand for the safety of people who live in constant danger zones. This is a call to action for all leaders to prioritize peace and protect human life.

What reputation did they have to begin with ?!
